About
Constant Foissey is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping joint replacement surgery through the precision of robotic assistance. His primary research focuses on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), with a particular emphasis on the innovative "functional alignment" philosophy. Foissey’s major contributions include pioneering techniques that respect individual bony and soft tissue phenotypes, moving beyond traditional mechanical alignment to improve implant survival and patient outcomes. His landmark study on functional alignment for the valgus morphotype (57 citations) provides a detailed rationale and technique for this personalized approach. Demonstrating the tangible benefits of technology, his work on imageless robotic-assisted UKA (46 citations) showed superior accuracy and implant survival over conventional methods across 356 knees. He has also validated the superiority of image-based robotic systems for total hip arthroplasty (33 citations) and UKA (12 citations), consistently proving that robotic assistance enhances implant positioning and restores natural biomechanics. Through these high-impact studies, Foissey is defining the future of orthopedic surgery, making it safer, more accurate, and more individualized for every patient.
